PCC Powder – Basant International

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC)

What is Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) ?

Basant International is the prominent name in offering various grades of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) from long back. Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) is an innovative product derived from lime, which has many industrial applications. Precipitated Calcium Carbonate—also known as purified, refined or synthetic Calcium Carbonate. It has the same chemical formula as other types of calcium carbonate, such as limestone, marble and chalk: CaCO3. The resulting product is extremely white and typically has a uniform narrow particle size distribution. Basant International’s PCC is available in numerous crystal morphologies and sizes, which can be tailored to optimize performance in a specific application.
